    Just wondering if it would be possible for them to get this show. It has some decent fights on most weeks, with Glen Johnson, Vitali, Sam Peter and Eddie Chambers fighting over the rest of February and March. Plus they have some great prospects signed up (Gamboa, Lara etc.) who could provide 6+ fights a year.

    I was thinking the same thing watching last weeks program, its a good show and shouldn't cost that much for Setanta to pick up.

    yeh hopefully if setanta get bought by espn.

    they dont have to have buncey and kerr, just show the us broadcast like 5 do. i would rather see these fights than the germans, the germans are crap.

    i think setanta just wanted regular prime time boxing, but would be better signing up maloney or hennesey.

    I don't mind them having the Germans. We should be looking forward to some decent fights with Abraham, Povetkin and erm....Valuev. But they should have looked at domestic fights first, although I am sure this German boxing was a lot cheaper.

    Have channel 5 shown last weeks FNF, Gamboa's 1 round KO of Walter Estrada?

    I'd rather Setanta have it also, channel 5 **** about with it and its usually on at 4.30am on a week night

    Ahh so thats what Boxing USA was. I streamed the card and it was a great fight night. This on Setanta would be pretty class i think, as said before would prefer this to all the german fights they sometimes have on.

    The last one they showed was with Andy Lee's loss to Brian Vera I think. They randomly repeated that a couple months later and that was last I seen of it on 5!

    channel 5 dont show the fights live do they, i cant get ch 5 on digital here, if that new cuban pro joins gamboa and lara it would be worth it, those 3 could be the future stars
